I understand the feeling. I do like superhero shows but not only is it indeed taking over the CW schedule, but the bigger problem is that the writing is so pedestrian on these shows. We tried the two new shows this season and gave up on both halfway through, and finally dropped Arrow as well. A bunch of well written shows will keep me watching even if they are all about the same thing.
It makes sense financially though. Not only are these shows giving the CW visibility in a way they really struggled with for their first 5 years, but because they're WB shows, they're making more money from these than just the initial ratings.
I'm quite surprised they were willing to give CEG another season. That's really a novel show and gave them their first bit of attention from a major award, but I heard the ratings were dismal.
